what so good about them???

As mentioned it's replacing the S03 & supposedly was tested at Mallalla against the S03 & had better lap times.

Bridgestone seem to be very confident with it's performance as they've spent $$$$ on marketing.

I was quite impressed with the Adrenalins & will definitely be getting a set once I go through my T1-Rs.

I had G3's on my old VR V8 cop car.

ok tyres, but really, for the cash, they were crap.... crap i say. wife lost it a cple of times. just didnt have the grip youd expect them to have, on a slippery surface.

best priced and performing tyres Ive ever used on a car are my current fare; Hankook Ventus K104 awesome tyre, $190 ea for 17x 235

I dont see how you can lose traction with these tyres on the street - if you do then you're doing something wrong. ie coming too hot into a corner, or perhaps braking thru the corner (big no-no; always end your braking B4 you hook into the crnr)

mind you, i do have AWD and a few extra hundred kgs in the stagea so maybe that makes a difference to a RWD skyline, in the way that they handle..... but this set should last 4yrs (35,000kms). top value. id argue that with anyone.

best bike tyres Ive had were Michelin Pilot's, top of the range goodness :) $290 for rear and $230 for front. worst tyre was Michelin sports, long range tyre not made for kneedown cornering. meant to last 12000kms, I ripped mine up in 5000 lol.

michelins hot spot is in the high temperatures tho isnt it, whereas bridgestone is better known as an all rounder and wet control tyre.

Id take pirellis over both tho. but I am going to go with these andrenalines ive decided.

I had GIIIs on the R34 and they were absolutely brilliant. Only problem was when I went to replace them the rear 255s were going to cost $450 each!

Went for Michelin Pilots and they have been awesome, but as usual I only got just over 10,000km from them.

Might try these out next.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
